I am building a browser-based bittorrent client. Check it out: https://github.com/feross/webtorrent

WebTorrent makes BitTorrent work in the browser using WebRTC. It's designed to match the BitTorrent protocol as closely as possible, so when the time comes, existing BitTorrent clients can easily add support for this extension and peer with web-based torrent clients.

WebTorrent is already working as a node.js bittorrent client (just do `npm install webtorrent -g` and use the `webtorrent` command), and as a web-based client (though the docs for this latter part are currently very lacking -- working on it!).
